Military background and deep legal experience: a formidable and compassionate attorney

As a graduate of the United States Air Force Academy, John C. Belt has proven his ability to be focused, tireless, and committed. As a successful attorney, he has used those attributes to fight for his clients’ best interests in their family struggles.

As a former member of the U.S. Armed Services, he knows that aggressive and combative tactics can achieve the best results, sometimes. However, he also knows that clear communication, sophisticated negotiation, and calm diplomacy often result in greater long-term gains especially when children are involved in divorce or legal separation.

After graduating from the Cleveland-Marshall College of Law, Mr. Belt began practicing law as a personal injury attorney and criminal defense lawyer. However, his passion for family law soon took precedence. Mr. Belt has since been dedicated strictly to AZ family law. Over the last twenty years, he has helped countless individuals and families through their most emotionally and financially difficult times. As the father of six in a “blended” family, Mr. Belt is an attorney who often relates to his clients’ personal challenges. By having him on your side, you will get a lawyer who knows when to be aggressive, how to be diplomatic, and above all, an ally who will diligently defend you.
